Barricade Page #3

...before it piles up so high

that we can't move.

All in favor?

Come on you, guys. Get your

snow stuff on. That's why we brought it.

Daddy?

Yeah?

What is it, sweetheart?

Cyn?

It's just the door to the attic,

sweetheart.

I think there's something up there.

No. No, no.

You're just letting your imagination

run away with you.

Go on. Get your stuff.

- Dad!

- Jake?

- What's wrong?

- There's something out there.

What's the matter with you kids?

We've all just gotta calm down.

We're gonna make ourselves crazy.

What are you seeing out there?

Was it a bird?

Bigger.

In the trees.

Like a person?

I don't know for sure.

Well, it's just shadows in the trees, buddy.

Just...

Just tree shadows blowing in the wind.

- You feeling okay?

- I'm fine.

- I'm gonna nail Cynthia with a snowball.

- Oh, yeah?

Be careful.

Your sister's got a heck of an arm.

She's just a girl.

So was your mom and she could throw

a fastball like a big leaguer.

It's harder than I thought.

- Hey!

- Gotcha.

I gotcha.

Jake! Help me get your sister!

Boys against the girl!

No, no, no. Kids against big people.

This doesn't sound like fair teams.

Traitors!

Come on! Come on, bring it!

Missed!

Where's Jake?

I don't know.

Jake!

He's hiding.

- Jake!

- Jake!

Jake?

Jake?

Jake!

Open the door! Jake!

Jake! Open the door!

Jake! Open the door, Jake!

- Why did you lock the door?

- I didn't.

What is this place?

If we need to fix anything,

we've come to the right place.

It's pretty cool, huh?

But you don't know

how to fix anything, Dad.

- Says who?

- Mom.

She used to say you were good

with your brain, not your hands.

Oh, she did, huh?

Cynthia?

Jake, is that the same thing

you saw?

Okay.

Change in plans.

I think we're coming down

with something.

What do you say we head down...

...we find Mr. Howes

and we ask about seeing a doctor?

- Dad, I have to pee.

- Of course, you do. Go on.

Quickly, both of you. Okay?

Quickly, You 9UY5-

I love you.

Hey. Hey-

Okay.

Guys?

Guys! We gotta go! I'll start the car.

My God.

How could this happen already?

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Goddamn it!

Hey, you guys.

You know...

...looks like the car's pretty sick too.

And...

A little snowy. 80...

What do you say...

...we go back inside, make a nice fire...

...some SOUP.

All the good stuff Mom used to do.

- Little cold never hurt anybody. Right?

- Dad, I'm scared.

Why did Mom want us to come here?

- She thought it would be fun.

- It's not fun, Dad.

I know. But it will be.

Come on! Come on. We'll have fun.

Could we walk, Dad? To the doctor?

- I think Jake's really sick.

- We're miles from anywhere.

We're knee deep in snow.

We'd just make him worse.
